So ahead of what’s set to be an exciting day of all-out, bumper-to-bumper action, read on to find out everything you need to know…

They drive everyday cars… but not as you know them

Unlike the sleek and astronomically expensive machines seen in Formula One, the cars seen on track in the BTCC look a lot more familiar. Touring cars are essentially everyday hatchbacks kitted out with faster engines, lightweight bodywork and slick, super-quick tyres. Perfect for the school run.

The action is non-stop

Though the season is comprised of just ten Grand Prix weekends spread over six months, fans get to see multiple high-speed contests take place in a matter of hours – three races take place at each meeting. As such, fans and drivers alike have very little time to catch their breath before the cars are lined up on the grid for another 15 laps.

It’s anyone’s game

Closely matched cars, teams and drivers mean the races – and the championship itself – could be won by any of the two dozen touring vehicles lining up on the grid. The mix of veteran former champions and punchy, up-and-coming stars frequently produces some truly thrilling races, with 20-year-old Senna Proctor (pictured, born in 1998) regularly rubbing mirrors with the likes of 50-year-old Jason Plato (who was champion in 2001) this season.

There’s a titanic title battle

Going into the final round of races, the title fight is very much alive. Turkington is in pole position to win his third championship, 34 points ahead of Ingram – but with 20 points going to each race winner plus bonus points available, Ingram’s still in with a decent chance. After a win and a second place at Silverstone last weekend, can he overhaul the leader to claim his first title?

Only one can be the champion – so tune in to the action at Brands Hatch to find out who…
